Mobility is the potential for movement. That the road is clear if I want to drive. That there is a bus or other public transport running on schedule. That there are safe sidewalks and bike lanes.
Many countries, including Denmark, are struggling to reduce CO2 emissions from transport. Particularly road transport, which is accountable for the main part. Yet many countries are investing in more road infrastructure, which typically will lead to more traffic and thus make it harder to reduce overall emissions from road transport.
Land in dense cities is often scarce and needs to be prioritized accordingly. By adopting an active parking policy, municipalities can consider how much land use should be allocated towards cars at the expense of other land uses. A parking policy consist of prioritizing which types of car-based activi-ties and which car drivers are wanted in the city.
Today we are facing a critical situation with regard to transport decarbonization. Whereas other sectors have reduced their greenhouse gas emissions, transport has increased not only its share of the total but its absolute CO2 emissions per year compared to 1990.
